Even tho the cars 12 years old, still looks new and fresh.

The power band in the motor. The ride of the car, and they fact of how cheap most parts are on this car. These cars can looks amazing when you modify them and do them correctly. I've also heard about the timing chain tensioner, once you get passed that stage, the cars awesome!

It was a good transportation vehicle while it was working.

A good, practical, economical transportation vehicle for the person that is willing to invest in doing some mechanics or replacing the engine. I decided not to invest any more money. This can be a good investment as a transportation vehicle.
